Why Used Car Prices Are Falling Faster Than New Cars

In Episode 130 of Inflation Explained with Fexingo, Lucas and Luna dig into a surprising divergence in today's inflation data: while new car prices have barely budged despite lower overall CPI, used car prices have tumbled more than 10% from their peak. They unpack the factors behind the gap — from fading supply-chain constraints and shifting consumer demand to the peculiar mechanics of how the CPI weights vehicle costs. With the June CPI reading at 332.6 and core PCE still edging up, they explore what this means for your next auto purchase and why the used market might be signaling deeper disinflation. Along the way, they reference recent import price trends and the Fed's current rate stance. A clear, data-driven look at one of the most tangible pieces of inflation news that actually hits households' wallets. #UsedCars #NewCars #CPI #Inflation #Disinflation #AutoMarket #CarPrices #ConsumerPrices #Fed #ImportPrices #SupplyChain #CorePCE #VehicleInflation #Economics #FexingoBusiness #BusinessPodcast #InflationExplained #LucasAndLuna Keep every episode free: buymeacoffee.com/fexingo
